AUSTIN - This weekend, what goes on?!

The Texas Longhorns exhibition basketball game against Xavier (LA) tonight (Friday) at the Erwin Center is free to the public.
GP - I haven't rolled a 16-sided die in ages, but slaying dragons and demons is like riding a bike!
Harvey - I prolly would have hit that up actually, but i only get in round midnite...

Yeah dude. FoS is easily accessible. South Congress. The only thing you need to know is that the entrance is actually from the back alley (no ayo). Must visit. I need to go there myself this weekend and see what's new since ARC.
Excellent! Thanks for the heads up about the entrance... Will definitely be stopping by!
CoolHands - Will you be at the shop this weekend? (This is Mike B, formerly of WRVU/Caroline Dist... In case you're wondering)

You might also like to check out Backspin Records on Burnet.
And if you are looking for any Texas rap cd's...Music Mania at 38th and IH-35, next to Fiesta.

Are you sure Backspin is still there? Talked to Zach at the show and they were supposed to be moving to the new digs this week. Remember where ABCDs used to be on Airport in that strip center with the pool hall? They're moving over there.
Also End of an Ear on South 1st is a cool shop. Antone's on Guadalupe. Spend some time strolling down the Drag and check out the eye candy.
Thanks fellas! My girl knows her way around the ATX, so i'm sure i'll be making it by all these spots over the weekend.

Not sure when the move was supposed to happen. So if they ain't at Burnet, check out Airport...they're not far apart at all.
Speaking of Airport, breakfast from Tamale House on Airport is about as authentic Austin as it gets.
Taco Shack is alright...but that's about it IMO.
And don't let anyone talk you into going to Guerro's, it's straight bush league.
Never been to Juan in a Million...
DUDE.
Don Juan Taco like $2.50 or some shit....you won't be hungry for hours. Best owner handshake as well. You should check it out.
You never eating at JiaM is like me having not eaten at Gene's yet.

So it's like THAT?!?!
Challenging my manhood and shit.
Don't make me ask if you've ever had Tamaleo (it used to be on Anderson)...

You haven't eaten at Gene's?!?! Not sure how big roast beef po-boys were in your neck of the bayou, but I grew up on em...and I had yet to eat a good one outside of New Orleans for decades on end...that is, until I had one at Gene's, then another, then another, and so on...
Tamaleo-wise...she's known for her tamales which are great, but this to me is her specialty...
So, i got Tamale House, Gene's and Tamaleo on the list (that Lamb dish sounds so scrumptous!), as well as the other record spots... Shaping up to be a tasty weekend!
Those are basically 3 to-go spots, so after you throw Hoover's into the mix for some down-home treatment, you still might want to get a little more regal with yours. GP might protest, but my stock recommendation as of late has been Ms. B's on East 11th.
I'm still takin notes...
And you MUST do yourself a favor and peep Juan In A Million, if only for the name. (the food is ridic too)

Apparently, I've been caught sleeping.
